Healing Homes

“The location is good, and close to public transportation. The building itself is vintage and fancy. A couple of minor drawbacks: the windows couldn't be opened for fresh air, and the curtains couldn't be rolled up. Since the unit faces the street, there was also noticeable noise at night and in the morning. Overall, though, it was a pleasant stay.”

“Unit had a roof leak with a bowl on the floor to catch water. Bowl was overflowing onto carpet. Sagging ceiling and wet carpet made on room unusable. Healing Homes moved us after we alerted them of the situation.”

“Healing Homes is doing a WONDERFUL humanitarian service but appears to not be able to keep their unit up to a top tier level AirBnB. If this is acceptable to you plus the noise at night and lack of an elevator going to the fourth floor, this unit is in a GREAT location!”

“Gorgeous place! Love the space although the 5 o’clock check in gave me no time in the actual place with a 11 am check out. I wish it was earlier but great location! If you are disabled make sure you know it’s a 4th floor walk up with no elevator:) otherwise super great”

“The purpose of our trip was to see a Red Sox game, but due to the extreme nor’easter storm it got canceled. We did not buy any travel insurance, but he hoped Healing Homes would work with us to help us reschedule with them or get a refund. They did not. They only offered a very small refund if we canceled and if someone re-booked the unit they would refund us on the difference of rates. They also only offered us a reschedule within 30 days. That did not work for us because the baseball season ended soon. Because of the weather we were forced inside more than we preferred. The WiFi was awful. Even after resetting it numerous times. We could not get the radiator to work and we asked for help. The instructions we were given did not work after numerous attempts.”

“The host was quick to respond. Great location. There were numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance. It was also close to the waterfront. We thought there could have been a few more amenities such as sugar, wine glasses, wash clothes, etc for the price that we paid. Would we stay there again, yes.”

“The flat was nice and in a good area. However, after traveling a long distance and paying a premium for this flat, the window in the bedroom vibrated and rattled all night the first night causing us not to be able to sleep. The window had blue tape on the inside which clearly indicated that the owner was aware of the window issue. After multiple messages, they sent someone out to fix the windows the next day. When I asked the owner to provide a solution (partial refund) for the first night with the defective window, they declined. Instead they offered a 10% discount on a future stay. I asked that they reconsider and they refused. A missed opportunity to address a serious deficiency by the owner. Won’t be coming back”

“This rental was exactly as pictured- Spotless and incredibly clean. Great location in the city and a parking garage very close (about 4 min walk) to the front entrance. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating with an early check in. I would absolutely stay again. 3 things to note: 1) the listing definitely prepared us for loud noises/city nightlife(we brought our own sound machines and earplugs) however we were very unprepared for how much light there was at night. Definitely hard for someone light sensitive like me. Be extra alert for this if you need full darkness to sleep. 2) there is a full kitchen but zero paper towels/napkins/or tissues. 3) during our stay there was horribly cold and rainy weather - we did not bring extra blankets and there were none at this Location. No extra blankets, towels, or pillows.”

“Buena estancia con todo lo que necesitas .Precio alto para el departamento.buena comunicación. horario no flexible no habiendo un lugar para dejar valijas.”

“Monday to Wednesday, this place was great. Thursday (and I'd guess through the weekend) the club next door plays loud music until 1-2 AM which vibrates the very walls and the party scene on the street adds to the chaotic noise. While I found the unit overall a good location, clean, and what I needed for a week of meetings, the weekend noise was pretty absurd. I'd suggest more than earplugs, and make sure you have noise canceling headphones or very late night plans on the weekend. Other reviewers mentioned this, and when I asked the host about it they downplayed it. Better to own up to the reality of this location, which has its pros and cons. Leaving this review so other guests know what to expect because the host wasn't honest about it.”
